Personal opinion only. If this is true, it is disgraceful. You go from no mandatory which I agree with to no pay for those who want and need it. Vote in 26 and 28.

I hope those rules are overturned either by Congress or a lawsuit, because vaccines should be fully covered by all insurance.

And guess who’ll be most affected? The low-income. Brown and Black peoples. Individuals who are already disadvantaged.

Please know that Public Health Departments provide free or reduced costs childhood vaccines. Don’t know if this still holds true with the idiots in the Trump Administration but do call local PH entities who are also a source for WIC as these 2 programs are often intertwined.

This is what happens when you put a antivax eugenicist in charge of our health. This worms for brains is no doctor or scientist. Spent most of his life shooting up and eating and playing with animal corpses. And yet he has the audacity to claim vaccines aren't safe.

It’s so ironic that RFK Jr is shepherding in the resurgence of Mumps. Guess what mumps causes in prepubescent boys? Testicular damage. Guess what is prescribed for testicular damage? Hormones. Also known as GENDER AFFIRMING CARE. We have IDIOTS running this nation.

Still getting necessary vaccines free. Private insurance paid for monthly may have copays & all insurers may not cover all unrecommended vaccines. Private sector employer insurance for full time workers is not that great. Politicians have access to more care than their ACA plans.

They are trying to kill off the poor, the sick, the disabled and the elderly. If kids fall into the first 3 categories they want them gone just as bad as they want the elderly gone. It's all in the project 2025 purge.

You know it's crazy that we don't let kids use safer medications and vaccines, (which most certainly exist), yet experimental treatments include giving people polio in attempts to cure cancer, in some cases causing more damage than cancer or even chemotherapy.

Blue states with better community health departments will probably be the only providers for middle and lower class people.

All the old infectious diseases of the twentieth century will make a comeback. Polio, TB, whooping cough, measles, etc will greatly increase deaths in children under 5. Dengue is happening in high humidity, high heat parts of the US. This is all totally unnecessary and preventable!!! Get rid of Kennedy!!!! Restore CDC to its former role.

They don’t want you to live if you’re on Medicaid. You are nothing but a drain on their money. It’s too bad people don’t believe in caring for the whole society anymore

This will affect poor impoverished children (probably in rural areas the most) and then it will affect elderly people and the immunocompromised.
